Brainstorm and prewrite three scenes about a fictional talent show in which two contestants swap bodies. Your first two scenes will focus on the contestants, each of which must try to learn the other person's act before the show begins. The third scene will focus on an audience member who's watching the talent show. Each scene must make its main character distinct from the other two. Each scene must also use rich description so that the problem each character faces seems real, even though the story itself is fantastical. In the next lesson, you'll expand these scenes into a short story.

Your assignment should include the following elements:

A scene told from the point of view of a contestant in a talent show who has unexpectedly swapped bodies with a stranger and must therefore perform that stranger's talent act

Another scene told from the perspective of the stranger with whom the first character swapped bodies; this person now faces the same problem of having to perform another person's talent act

A third scene told from the point of view of an audience member who watches the talent show
